First meeting of the Descent Phase Mission Techniques Working Group

See list belowOCT 19 196767-PA-T-88APA/Chief, Apollo Data Priority CoordinationFirst meeting of the Descent Phase Mission Techniques Working Group

1. This memo is to request your participation in the detailed develop- ment of the Apollo Mission Techniques for the Descent phase of the lunar landing mission. We are setting up a small working group of the following composition to do this job:

MPAD Floyd Bennett, Chairman Flight Crew Pete Conrad FCSD Paul Kramer FCD Phil Shaffer FSD Tom Gibson G&C Myron Kayton, Ed Smith TRW Bob Kidd ASPO Bill Tindall

2. The first meeting will be held on October 31, 1967, in my office (Building 30, Room 3068) at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of this meeting will be to review and propose modifications as necessary to the attached document prepared by TRW. It is anticipated that after several such meetings the overall operational logic will have been established and documented in sufficient detail and accuracy to permit wider distrubu- tion and comment. Right now, though, it seems desirable to keep the size of this working group as small as possible. However, if you want to bring additional people from your organization, feel free to do so.
